Ray Daniels

And I'm like, I grew up listening to 8 Ball and MJG.

Right.

Like, I'm not giving you my subjective opinion.

I'm giving you my objective opinion.

Like, I know objectively how to make records.

But it's been hard, bro.

That's why I'm glad I'm here because if I would have got it earlier, it would have been like, oh, they probably just know him from such and such.

That's why they let him on.

That makes sense.

Like, this is a real journey I'm on because I feel like I see the future

And I'm like, and I talk to God every day and I'm like, I know what needs to be done.

Like y'all are more the future than they are.

They just have the infrastructure and the history.

So they are arrogant about it.

But like,

I remember when I was coming up in the music business, when Shakir knew your name, if KP knew your name, if your brother hip hop, I remember the first time your brother called me and he said, Ray, I'm like, oh, I'm in the game.

My name, you know, I came up in that industry.

And then when I finally got to my top SVP title, instead of signing what I wanted, I signed what they told me to sign.

So now it was like, well, we signed what they told us to sign.

Then why are we in here then?
